Recycling

Reduce – Reuse – Recycle. The ‘3R’ words are in that order because (1) reducing what we consume is a great place to start; (2) reusing things, instead of tossing them out, means we are wasting less; and (3) when something is past its useful life, we certainly need to recycle it, so the materials can be recovered. Recycling is available to over 95 per cent of Manitobans.
